The default option for general resolutions is "Further Discussion", the default option for DPL elections is "None of the Above". > How are they distinguishable, given that we cannot force people to stop > discussing it after the vote is over? If "Don't change the social contract" wins, you know that the Debian project has carefully considered the options, and found that the current social contract is satisfactory and should not be changed. If "Further discussion" wins, you know the Debian project is unsatisfied with its consideration of the options up to this point. On the former case, people who continue discussing it are highly likely to be wasting their time. In the latter case, they're not.
